Lane closures Scheduled for Multiple Sections of Kōloa Road
Multiple sections of Kōloa Road and Maluhia Road are scheduled for lane closures from July 6-9. Multiple sections of Kōloa Road will be under short lane closures for shoulder grading work from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., expect brief occasional delays.
Additionally, beginning Tuesday, July 6, 2021, a 24-hour closure will be implemented to complete the makai half of the new Koloa Road Roundabout. All southbound traffic heading into Kōloa Town will be detoured to Ala Kalanikaumaka and Lopaka Paipa Boulevard. Ala Kalanikaumaka will be closed at Lopaka Paipa Boulevard for north-bound traffic, and motorists will be detoured to Lopaka Paipa Boulevard and Po‘ipū Road. Westbound traffic on Kōloa Road will be routed through the newly constructed mauka half of the Kōloa Road Roundabout, and the left turn onto Ala Kalanikaumaka will be permanently closed.
Ōma‘o Road is a narrow residential road that is not intended to be used as a detour route and is not designed for high volumes of traffic or truck traffic. The speed limit is 25 mph for the entire length of Ōma‘o Road. Through trucks are prohibited on Ōma‘o Road for the duration of this project. Eastbound motorists from the West Side, Kalāheo, or Lāwa‘i are recommended to take Kaumuali‘i Highway to Maluhia Road to access Kōloa and Po‘ipū.
Construction of the Koloa Road Roundabout is currently projected to be complete by July 30, 2021. The current projected project’s completion date is Aug. 27, 2021.
